To want two marshmallows at m&s

[DizzyBlondeMum2]

Coffee with dsx2 on Friday. Choose m&s as they 'do the coffee with the marshmallows mum!!! '

One boy wants Percy Pig juice, so ask if we might have two marshmallows with other boys babychino to avoid world war three.

Am told we have a new policy of only one marshmallow. No apology, no smile, nada!

It was only a mini marshmallow too! Is this the pinnacle of un-child friendly. Or AIBU?

I would have gladly swapped my mini hobnob for a marshmallow if I had to trade. We had even bought cake as well. May be I should move on...

Bloody M&S! Tight arses! Not like they can't afford to give away a few mini marshmallows with the prices they charge for their very average clothes!

YABU, explain to child ordering percy pig juice (wtf ) that it comes without marshmallows, do you want percy pig juice or marshmallows dear child?
they cannot have everything all the time

YABU. This is a poor lesson to teach your kids.

YANBU, tightwads. Mind you the only reason I go in there these days is for their fresh lemonade. I'm so OVER M&S!

I think yabu for asking them for it. I think it is a part of the choosing that the juice doesn't come with a marshmallow.

"One boy wants Percy Pig juice, so ask if we might have two marshmallows with other boys babychino to avoid world war three."
I just don't get this. Marshmallow is part of the babychino, he wanted Percy Pig juice. It doesn't come with marshmallow, so no marshmallow. I expect it doesn't come with ketchup either.

Yabu, your kids melting down is your problem. Do you give in every time?

Percy Pig juice sounds very healthy

i dont get all this sitting around in cafes people do with their kids

YABU for ordering a babychino

Miserable sods. It was a teeny marshmallow, it is not going to make thr difference between Marc Bolland getting a bonus or not.

For them to have a policy, there must be a lot of people like you asking this.

They are undoubtedly being stingy...

But, come on, kid wants a juice, he sacrifices the marshmallow. It's a tough world out there.

YANBU! At all

Marks has got far to expensive for a mediocre cup of tea and the like.

What if you ordered the 'babychino' and they'd run out of marshmallows because the Percy Pig juice lovers had snaffled them all?

Huh? What then?

And wtf are a babychino and a percy pig juice when they're at home anyway?

BUT THE MARSHMALLOWS WOULD KILL,YOU ALL DEAD. DEAD!!!!!!!!!!!

UABU for being grossly negligent with your children.

Worra.

Babychino is frothy milk

Percy pig juice I assume is a fruit juice carton flavoured like Percy pig sweets.

Wasn't there a thread a few months ago, where an outraged mum wanted to sue Costa for a gazillion pounds, and have a new law to forbid any cafe from serving marshmallows with any drink which will be consumed in the vicinity of an under-10 because they are a choking risk?
So YABVVVU because clearly they are lethal objects and you nearly killed both your children

Yes. The marshmallow Costa thread was Mumsnet Gold

How old is the Percy Pig drinker? You'd avoid ww3 more consistently by teaching him that the world doesn't bend to his will.
Why couldn't you have told him marshmallows don't come with the juice instead of trying to cadge an extra one to placate him?

YABU

What if you have 6 children with you and only one wants a babychino (boak) but the othe 5 also want a marshmallow?!

Percy Pig juice is giving me a really unpleasant mental image of the aftermath of a bacon fry-up in a glass.

Stingy of M&S to refuse but you were a bit cheeky to ask. Buy a pack of marshmallows?
